THANKS TO....

... the (usual) August Bank Holiday weather I have managed to get some sewing done....

I am cutting down on my long term swaps .. but a few one-off swaps are fine xx .. that's my story anyway! I am in a swap where you and your partner choose a season and make and send goodies that reflect it x MY partner is in New Zealand and as they are coming into Summer .. SO that is her choice x

She wants it to be a surprise ... so here are her goodies ready to go ...


when I know her parcel has arrived safe and sound I will share the "real" picture x I am WELL within the date for posting .. but it has a long way to go x

I finished the improvised baby jumper...

 
 
 


......and that too will be going in the post x... its a good excuse to dive into the button box..... AND that reminds me .. I recently heard someone say they had been STASH DIVING to find the fabric they wanted !! I think that is a FABULOUS term and am going to shamelessly steal it !! lol x 

Yesterday I went to visit a friend of mine, she has recently moved to a new house .... I had the directions to find it ... she had requested a chocolate cake ...



..... when she rang to check what time to have the kettle on for ....she assured me if I got lost I could ring her and she would come and rescue... NOT ME.... BUT THE CAKE!!!!! lol x

I managed to get there safe and sound .. with the cake ... that did not last very long once I got there xx

You know it only take about 8 days for stuff to get here! LOl, OK, maybe 10 sometimes.
That cake looks yummy and the sweaters look cosy.
